SQL Server 2008 R2 supports maps

Provided in SQL Server 2008, Microsoft purchased some reporting components from Dundas including Guages etc. But the most popular Dundas components were omitted, namely the Map Gallery. You can click on a map of a country or state and have it drill down to see more detail. Those Components will be now provided in R2 with Report Builder 3.0. Microsoft calls it Geospatial Visualization. With the latest Nov 2009 CTP for SQL Server 2008 R2, you can download the associated Report Builder 3.0 Feature Pack for testing at this web site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f78b6b1e-8ccb-407a-bc3e-7955d60e1a6c&displaylang=en cheers Brian
